Example sentence

الَّتِي بِجَنَبَتَيْ ذَاكَ الصِّرَاطِ،

which are on the two sides of that path,

بِجَانِبَيْنِ on the two sides

The bi- glued on the front is a 'with/on' preposition, and it forces the noun after it into the genitive (the 'after a preposition' ending). The noun itself is in the dual, Arabic's special 'exactly two' form, so the two sides are built into the word's shape rather than spelled out with a separate 'two'.
